After the culmination of Evo Morales first term in December 2010, Alfredo Rada started working with the National School of Politics (Escuela Nacional de Formacion Politica) with former trotskyist Carla Esposito Guevara:[2] “Construyendo el Cambio Revolucionario”. The National School of Politics is a grassroots organization dedicated to the discussion and debate of current issues related to Bolivia and its revolutionary process.

After the fall of Evo Morales in 2019, Rada fled from Bolivia, due to the crimes committed in the Calancha in Sucre.[3][4][5] He is currently out of the country.
